+This implementation of
+.Fn getaddrinfo
+allows experimental numeric IPv6 address notation with scope identifier.
+By appending the percent character and scope identifier to addresses,
+you can fill the
+.Li sin6_scope_id
+field for addresses.
+This would make management of scoped address easier,
+and allows cut-and-paste input of scoped address.

+At this moment the code supports only link-local addresses with the format.

+The following code tries to connect to

+service
+.Dq Li http .
+via stream socket.
+It loops through all the addresses available, regardless of address family.
+If the destination resolves to an IPv4 address, it will use
+.Dv AF_INET
+socket.
+Similarly, if it resolves to IPv6,
+.Dv AF_INET6
+socket is used.
+Observe that there is no hardcoded reference to a particular address family.
+The code works even if
